Popular hacker Planetbeing have brought hope to many with his statement today via reditt saying that he has an untethered iOS 6.0.2 jailbreak running on his iPhone 5.
He however insisted that it cannot be released now because of the release of iOS 6.1 that the boys at Apple will drop anytime soon.
This statement brings hope to many as some people have though that tethered jailbreak of new devices isn't possible let alone an untethered jailbreak.
However Planetbeing has this to say:

Untethered Jailbreak iOS 6.0.2 on iPhone 5
"Yeah, I’m not really sure what all the doom and gloom is about. The fact is, I have an untethered iOS 6.0.2 JB running on my iPhone 5 right now. The reasons it’s not released are because 1. releasing it would burn an exploit we want to save for ourselves so we can always get in to look at new firmware and help JB in the future, 2. iOS 6.1 is coming very soon and will likely break a small part of it anyway, there’s no point in sacrificing the many bugs it won’t break.

Anyway, where there are 4+ bugs (that it took to get this to work), there’s gotta be one or two more so while jailbreaking is getting harder, reports of its death are highly exaggerated.

This is not stuff I want to say over Twitter with 140 characters because I’m afraid of starting some sort of riot, but I like the smaller /r/jailbreak community more. "

That is it folks, if you thought that JB is over for new devices then think again cos these guys are not gonna let Apple win the fight that easily.
Stay tuned for more info on untethered JB has they come.

To share files, you will have to save the files you want to share on Bump using iTunes 11.
Instruction to do this is given in the image below.

Yesterday, it was reported that thieves broke into the Microsoft's campus in Mountain View on The 19th and 26th of December 2012.
This incident was reported to the police on wednesday 3rd 2013.
According to the info, 2 iPad 2, 2 iPad 3 and 1 iPad 4 (iPad with retina display as its called) was stolen from Microsoft's office. The worth of this is estimated to be about $3,000.
Although what comes to my mind is that why did it take so much time for a theft committed last year to just be reported 1 week later.
Whatever it is, the thieves must really love Apple products over Microsoft products.

Smartphone business is a serious business now, more serious than when it first began. However, a more serious business is the OS that runs on these smart devices.
From Android, Windows Phones OS to iOS, there had been a steady release to how these OS play a bigger role in the sales of smart devices. Most people will argue that they can't buy a device that doesn't run android while some will die for iOS.
This OS business is so huge and important that Mozilla and Ubuntu have decided to join in the race to create OS for smartphones.
Late last year, we saw Mozilla showing off their intent to make Mozilla OS that will run on smartphones and now Ubuntu which is a Linux based operating system that has gained popularity as regards the desktop and server version have decide to join in the race to produce Ubuntu for smartphones.
The race will be fierce has Apple iOS and Android dominates these industry not to mention the strong presence that Windows Phone OS is making.
Though Android is Linux based, Ubuntu won't be able to run android based apps.
Ubuntu will have its own architecture in which it will run apps. However, any phone or device capable of running Android will be able to run Ubuntu OS.
I would love to see the set of devices that will run this new OS that will come to play this year. It could be Samsung, LG Acer etc. which everyone it is, am sure it would be loved and it's presence would be felt.
